GASCOYNE, GASKIN, or GASKELL, EDWARD, Salem, shipwright, had gr. of
ld. 1637, by w. Sarah had Samuel, bapt. 7 Aug,. 1639; Daniel, 10 Oct. 1640;
Sarah, 14 May 1643; Hannah, 1 Mar. 1646; and Edward, 30 Apr. 1648. Sarah, m.
24 May 1661, Peter Joy. SAMUEL, Salem, s. prob. of the preced. m. 30 Dec.
1662, Provided, d. of Lawrence Southwick, had Samuel, b. 23 Jan. 1664;
Edward, 22 Oct. 1667; Hannah, 2 Jan. 1670; and Provided, 22 Apr. 1672; was
punish. 1658, for his curiosity or depravity in attend. a Quaker meet. He
had s. John, wh. a. 9 Oct. 1686, perhaps few days old; and his w. Elizabeth
d. 18 of the same. The Salem rec. also certif. that by w. Elizabeth he had
Elizabeth b. 13 May 1688; where we can see that an error of date is giv.
unless he had sec. w. of the same name as the first. But he could certain.
not be f. of that temporary dweller in Cambridge or Charlestown nam. SAMUEL,
wh. was after of New Haven, m. very likely as sec. w. 20 July 1687,
Elizabeth Sherman, d. of John, but whether the min. or the capt. is by Bond
left uncert. Yet we may easily presume that between the two Samuels there is
confus. tho. we may be very sure that no Quaker would then have been permit.
to m. a d. of either Capt. or Rev. John S. It was clear. the d. of Rev. John
that m. at mature age after her f.'s d. Samuel G. a thriving merch. of New
Haven, had prob. Samuel and Mary perhaps by former w. and he had bapt. at
Watertown, John, 30 Nov. 1690; and d. 1706. His inv. was of 20 Jan. foll.
and Sherman's d. Elizabeth was admin. SAMUEL, Stratford, s. of the preced.
d. soon after his f. leav. w. Abigail half his est. beside provis. in case
she were pregnant, and residue to sis. Mary, by his will of 31 Jan. 1707.

GATCHELL, or GETCHELL, sometimes GITCHELL, JEREMIAH, Marblehead
1668-1674. JOHN, Salem 1637, aged a. 26, was of Marblehead 1648. He may have
been the f. of that John, a soldier in Beers's comp. wh. fell 4 Sept. 1675,
with his leader, at Squakeag fight. JONATHAN, Marblehead 1674, rem. to
Portsmouth, R. L and there m. 5 Mar. 1683,

STEPHEN, Hingham 1638, came in the Diligent with w. and two ch. that yr.;
was from old Hingham, rem. to Cambridge, thence 1654 to Lancaster, where he
was constable 1657, freem. 1656, went back to C. there d. 1662. He

[[vol. 2, p. 236]]
calls hims. of C. in his will, made 9 June, pro. 7 Oct. of that yr. He
had Stephen, Simon, and Thomas, b. I think, on this side of the ocean; and
those he brot. prob. were Elizabeth wh. m. Nov. or 22 Dec. 1649, John
Lazell; and Mary, wh. m. 5 Apr. 1658, John Maynard. His wid. Ann m. 1663,
Richard Woodward of Watertown, outliv. him, and d. 5 Feb. 1683, at Stow,
where G. had sometime resid. STEPHEN, Boston, s. of the preced. by w. Sarah,
prob. d. of George Woodward of Watertown, had Stephen; Simon, b. 5 June
1667; Thomas, 31 Dec. 1669; Isaac; Nathaniel; rem. to Marlborough, and had
Sarah, 27 Apr. 1679; Rebecca, 23 July 1682; and Daniel, 25 Apr. 1685; he was
some yrs. at Charlestown; and his will was pro. 1707.

GATLINE, or GATTLIFFE, JONATHAN, Boston, s. of Thomas, a mariner, m.
June 1663, Mary, eldest d. of Amos Richardson. THOMAS, Dorchester, a miller,
was of Braintree 1650, d. 17 May 1663, had ch. only s. Jonathan; Prudent;
and Mary b. 13 Feb. 1656; left good est. wid. Prudent, not mo. of Jonathan.

GATSELL, WALTER, came in the Abigail 1635, aged 34, but we kn.

GATTERY, JOHN. See Gaffingsley.GAULT, WILLIAM, of Yarmouth, Co.
Norfolk, cordwainer, aged 29 yrs. a single man, emb. 11 May 1637 in the Mary
Ann, but we kn. not his resid. here; nor can the name be found, exc. that
John Easton, wh. bec. gov. of R. I. had m. 4 Feb. 1661, Mehitable G. wh. may
have been his d. But it may well seem, that he liv. at Salem, for there
Mary, wid. of William Goult or Gott, had contr. for m. with Richard Bishop,
as his sec. w. in July 1660, as in Essex Inst. II. 182, is well shown.

GAUNT, PETER, Lynn, rem. to Sandwich 1637, there was liv. 1643.
THOMAS, Rehoboth, perhaps s. of the preced. may be the same as in ano. part
of the Col. Rec. is giv. Grant, of the bur. of whose ch. Sept. 1676, ment.
is made on Col. Rec. had John, b. 21 Jan. 1678.

In the lists of freem. 1644 and 5 appears
the name of John Gay, but it may well be feared, that one, if not both, is
or are repetition only. Ano. fam. of Gay there was, indeed, in Dedham, or in
that part wh. bec. Wrentham, who widely spread, but of wh. the progenit. is
not kn. to me. JOHN, Watertown, by w. Hannah, had Hannah, b. 25 Dec. 1668;
and Thomas, Mar. 1674; d. in few yrs after, for Bond shows that admin. to
wid. Hannah pass. 18 Dec. 1678. JOHN, Dedham, s. of the first John, m. 13
Feb. 1679, Rebecca, d. of John Bacon, had Rebecca, John, Stephen, Abigail,
Mary, and Hezekiah.

SAMUEL, Roxbury, by w. Abigail had Samuel, b. 24
Feb. 1688; and Abigail, 15 Oct. 1689. The gr. ornament of this fam. was Rev.
Ebenezer, youngest s. of; Nathaniel, third min. of Hingham, ord. 11 June
1718, wh. d. 18 Mar. 1787, the honor. patriarch of our N. E. pulpit in that
age. Eleven of this name had, in 1826, been gr. at Harv. of wh. five were
clerg. and three at the other N. E. coll.

May 1687; Elizabeth 26 Nov. 1690; Eliezur, 26 Feb. 1695; Samuel, 9 Mar.
1697; and Hannah, 4 Sept. 1700. JOHN, Dorchester 1632, one of two chos. by
the town to meet the Court of Assist. bef. any system of rep. had been
formed. Whether he d. soon, or went home, may long be unkn. but his name
does not occur again. JOHN, Windsor, youngest s. of William the first, prob.
the only one of the ch. b. on this side of the water, m. 17 Nov. 1653, Mary,
d. of John Drake, had (tho. others may have been b. and d.), John, b. 15
June 1656, wh. d. May 1664; Mary, 19 Jan. 1664; John, again, 23 June 1667;

age of 16, as Goodwin says, Mary, d. of Hon. Daniel Clark, wh. was above 25,
had John, b. 8 June 1686, Mary, and Ann, 20 Apr. 1700; of wh. the last d.
young; and he d. 29 Apr. 1699, of course a. 32 yrs. old. JOSEPH, Windsor, s.
of Walter, m. 14 July 1670, Sarah Standley, had Sarah, b. 11 July 1671;

GENERY, or CHENERIE, Isaac, Dedham, in that part wh. bec. Medfield,

Charlestown 1657, had been in Mar. 1641 apprent. for 8 yrs. to Gov. Winthrop
with his own consent, so that he may have been of full age, and a differ.
person from him wh. was one of the found. of the first Bapt. ch. in Boston
1665, d. 12 Sept. 1666. Hutch. Coll. 399, shows the sad proceed. just bef.
